Geerdes will move district forward

Gregg Geerdes - the father of five children who attend Iowa City public schools on both sides of the Iowa River - is a man of great patience and good sense, qualities essential to one who will not only hear us, but truly listen, understand, and act on behalf of the common good. The future of our schools and our sense of community will be best served by someone with this talent.

The educational issues we face require a clear, fair, and reasonable voice, as well. All who have listened as board candidates have addressed the challenges confronting our schools have heard Geerdes analyze with clarity and care both the social and financial realities of our present situation and the choices we must make for the future.

The new board will greatly benefit from the wise counsel Geerdes can provide, and our entire community will be well served by his ability and willingness to help all of us be better informed on the tough decisions we face.

Compassionate and calm, well informed and astute, able to listen and to explain, understand, and act, Geerdes is the best person to help us move forward together as an informed community and the best person to help us reconcile our values, aspirations, and educational resources.
